The technology comes from the University of Washington, and an example of the engineering designed technology is a laundry bottle that can detect when soap or detergent is running low and then ...
(Nanowerk News) MIT researchers have developed a new method to 3D print mechanisms that detect how force is being applied to an object. The structures are made from a single piece of material, so they ...
If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs. We’ve all seen what modern 3D printing technology is capable of, but it still has some ...
(Nanowerk News) With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but ...
Prints separating from the build plate or warping when you don’t want them to is a headache for the additive manufacturer. [CNC Kitchen] walks us through a technique to use that warping to our ...
Museums are experiencing an increased presence of 3D printed objects in collections and higher instances of use in preservation activities. The diversity of 3D printed materials presents a major ...
A new prototype of a knitting machine creates solid, knitted shapes, adding stitches in any direction – forward, backward and diagonal ...
Aerogel materials are known to scientists for being effective thermal insulators that could be useful in electronics, but so far have been limited to large-scale applications, such as those in ...
Researchers have developed the first 3D-printable 'bottlebrush' elastomer. The new material results in printed objects that have unusual softness and elasticity -- mechanical properties that closely ...
